VGA untested.

VGA out works fine out of the box. Since the NVIDIA chip is wired to the HDMI out, you can get this working using Bumblebee with xf86-video-intel-virtual-crtc and hybrid-screenclone. See [[https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/FAQ Bumblebee FAQ]]

HDMI not working, but still testing. I'm not sure if it can work on this laptop. See https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/FAQ.

The external subwoofer is not working, investigation needed.

+

To make the external subwoofer work edit/create {{ic|/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf}} and add these options:

+

+

{{hc|/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf|2=<nowiki>

+

options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode4

+

</nowiki>}}

+

+

As explained in this [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/871808| bug report], by default, the subwoofer plays the right channel. To correct this, add the following:

Configuration

There is a BIOS update (v207) on Asus support website (go to the english one if you don't find) that fix the numpad bug.

CPU

Works out of the box.

Follow the CPU Frequency Scaling guide to enable speed-stepping.

Nvidia

The official proprietary nvidia drivers for linux do not support Nvidia Optimus yet, but there is a workaround in the form of bumblebeeAUR.
It enables the use of Nvidia graphic card via virtualgl. Just follow the instructions for setting up bumblebee in our wiki.
